Catering in Portola.
Put Portola on the calendar and the kitchen plans backward from your serving time: load out on Longley Lane, head up Highway 89 through Sierraville, or Highway 70 through the Feather River Canyon, and arrive with roughly 50 miles behind the hot boxes.
The Western Pacific railroad town on the Middle Fork Feather, with Lake Davis in the pines above.
Graeagle, Portola, and the Mohawk Valley are a wedding belt of lodges and river meadows. It's a beautiful haul up 89 through Sierraville or 70 through the canyon, so the crew treats these as day-trip events and plans accordingly.
The menus travel whole: trayed sandwiches and homemade salads, box meals for meetings, hot buffets from lasagna to prime rib, appetizers by the piece, and the special-event board with its published per-person prices (the Wedding Special runs $27.99 a head). The food truck and the nine-tap Mobile Pub make the trip too.
Cold-season note for Portola: the kitchen plans winter runs around road conditions, leaving earlier and favoring dishes that hold heat beautifully. Thirty winters of mountain events have shaped that checklist.
